Hayato Suzuki is out of next month’s ONE: ‘Eternal Glory’ in Jakarta. The Japanese challenger is reportedly injured but the promotion has wasted no time in replacing him with compatriot Yosuke Saruta, who will now face strawweight champion Joshua Pacio in the main event.

Saruta (18-8-3) made his promotional debut earlier this month at ONE: ‘Destiny of Champions’ and scored a hard fought decision win over former champion Alex Silva. He has been rewarded with an instant title shot after Suzuki’s surprise withdrawal.

The 31 year old has won eight of his last ten fights and Saruta’s sole loss during this period came in a bout where he suffered an eye injury. Coincidentally he has already faced Suzuki once, suffering a decision defeat at the hands of the man originally slated to face Pacio on January 19th.

Pacio (16-2) is one of four Team Lakay fighters to currently hold ONE Championship titles. He won the belt in September, scoring a unanimous decision win over two time champion Yoshitaka Naito in Jakarta.
